4 BLU0DLESS MAN.
One OF the Strange Freaks That Nature
Works.

Une OF the Strange FREAKS That Nature
Works.
Panama Estrella.
Not many miles from Berlin there
lives man who, if what report says of
him is true. IS certainly one of the most
remarkable phenomena on record. The
papers state as a positive fact that he
has no blood in his veins, and that a
committee of the leading physicians
and scientists have declared their ina
bility TO account for this extraordinary
circumstance The man is corporal
in the German army and goes by the
name OF Otto Schneider. He himself
was quite unconscious of his bloodless
condition until two months ago, when
he fought duel with fellow soldier.
His opponent ran his sword through
his body, without, however, drawing
any blood, and the patient seemed
not bit the worse The man was so
taken by surprise that Otto had no
trouble in killing him. Since &tbat
time the comrades of the corporal have
been careful not to tread on his toes
and on no consideration to accept d
challenge from him. He was submitted
to a severe test at a medical institute at
Berlin. A knife was thrust into his
mouth, the point coming out at the
back Of the cheek. Not drop of blood
was spilled, and Otto felt no pain dur
ing the operation. The gentleman who
examined him are now fully convinced
that there are many things in heaven
and earth that they never dreamed of.
Otto Schneider intends as soon as his
time is up (the next year, to show him
self in the principal cities of Europe.

MINoT, Oak, May 23.-The recovery
of the body of the man who was drowned
in the Mouse river near Minot about the
25th of last April, still leaves the iden-
tity of the man a mystery. Upon the
body were found four photographs by
an English artist, two of them of an
elderly lady and gentleman, and two of
young man and young lady. The
young man is dressed in sailors suit
and appears to be about 20 years of age.
1t is evidently a family group. On the
back of the picture of the young man is
written at the top, Thomas Stratford,
Davenport, E, and at the bottom Mrs.
A. Stratford, Old Ford, Jan. =,
1868. By this it would appear
that the age of the drowned man,
which is judged to be about 40 years,
corresponds with the lapse Of time be-
tween the date written upon the photo
graph and the age of the young man, so
as to make the young man, if living at
this time, about 40 years old. Tied in a
sack around the neck of the body were
the following articles: -Four photo
graphs, pairs socks, l pair rubbers,
jack-knife,a spool of thread and needles,
pipe, two sacks of tobacco, l towel, 9
handkerchiefs and leather photo case.
The body was dressed i'll duck OverallS
and duck sack coat. Coroner Carpenter
impaneled jury and held an inquest
over the body, and after deducing all
the evidence i'll the case possible to be
had, the jury returned verdict of ac-
cidental drowning.

COMING TO ITS SENSES.
A Canadian Organ Wants Com.
plete Reciprocity.

plete reciprocity.
Toronto Globe.
A totally inadmissible position is taken
by certain of our contemporaries, who
allege that the fisheries settlement pro-
posed by Lord Salisbury should be con-
sented to by parliament because it would
please number of bait sellers and ice
dealers in the maritime provinces. Their
interests are, of course, entitled to con-
sideration, but the case is one
involving not theirs only, but the
ion. Lord saiisbury's offer to
surrender just claim of $500, 600 a
year has been produced by the Ameri-
can refusal to negotiate or arbitrate. 1t
would be positively dangerous for Can
ada to assent to surrender in the circuin-
stances, because the lesson to the Wash
ingtOn people would be that they can at
any time obtain large prOpitiatory offer
ings of Canadian property from the
British government by taking a threat
ening attitude where arbitration before
an impartial tribunal would be the fair
and reasonable course.
A second powerful argument against
Canada's assent to the surrender is that
it would deprive her of what may be
used to procure general and final set
tlement, INFINITELY more advantageous
to all classes of Canadian fishermen than
that proposed, and of vast advantage to
nearly all other Canadians. Unrestricted
reciprocity would give fishermen the
free entrance to American markets that
Lord Salisbury asks for them, enable
them to enter with produce also, and
secure them in cheap supplies. 1t would
enable the men alongshOre to sell bait,
ice and supplies freely to American
shippers. 1t would, moreover, give all
our farmers, miners, lumbermen
and manufacturers access to the vast
selling markets of the continent. When
so much may be gained, and the fisher
les dispute forever settled by standing
out against the beginning of system Of
piecemeal surrender, the wise policy
will be to hold on, Notwithstanding
some inconvenience to q few interests
in one district, to the property that our
neighbOrS are more eager to obtain than
any other. The bargain that Lord Sails
bury offers is at least half million
year worse for Canada than what inn
partial arbitrators gave her; to consent
to it would be to establish q dangerous
precedent; and such settlement would
be not only dishOnOrable to this people,
but far worse one than they can prob
ably get by retaining the fishing
grounds, with intention to bestow them
on Americans in connection with an ar
rangement for free permanent exchange
OF all commodities.

A QUEER GRAVEYARD.
The Remains of a COlored Man
Buried in Manure Pile.

Special to the Globe.
GRAND FORKS, OAK, May 23.-The
remains of the colored man, Ike Farmer,
which SO mysteriously disappeared from
East Grand Forks about month ago,
were discovered by Officer Phil Nc
Laughlin, about ten rods above the east
ern approach of the Red Lake river
bridge. Two or three days ago man
coming along the eastern shore of the
river saw peculiar looking box par

day he informed John Langen, who

as possible he went over to investigate

matter, and with Albert Lewis, better

went over to find the box, If possible.
They proceeded to the place indicated,
and observing a suspicious appear
ance in the ground near where the
box was first seen, Mclaughlin stuck a
shovel into the earth, striking the box at
the first thrust. 1t was covered over
with about three or four inches OF earth
and little manure. 1t is supposed that
the parties who left the box there heard
of its being seen, and becoming fright
ened, sought to put it out Of sight, with
very poor success. Slippery went to
Undertaken Casswell and engaged him
to bury the body in the cemetery on this

remains, in the rough pine box were
taken up and brought over yesterday
and laid where they will probably not
again be disturbed. 1t is hard to believe
that such frightful inhumanity exists in
this country, where people are known
as being charitable to fault, and the
perpetrators of the repulSive deed should
be hunted out and made to suffer the
extreme penalty, if there is any law COW
